Henry Winter has always got good things to say about the club

[Why sack Durban]

I think we’re probably missing a bit info. I’m not clued up on this stuff but isn’t this like a club releasing the current balon D’or winner?

I’d imagine it’s cost related . When he got it I’m sure he was on something in the region of 500k or something

Doing exactly what they're doing at Sky and elsewhere, make them redundant and hire social media influencers for far less money

News UK are in a lot of financial bother aren't they due to phone hacking payouts?

I agree. Maybe they are getting shot of several similar earners across the departments and getting some inexperienced younguns in.

Sounds familiar. Someone tell the times it'll all go wrong in 6 months.

I've long felt Henry Winter is one of the best sports journalists about.

They just took on Martin Samuels a few months ago... as 'Chief Correspondent'

He's been writing various insipid features so far, I wonder if he will 'become' the Chief Football Writer?

He is. Most of them indulge in their fair share of sanctimony and Winter isn’t shy of a bit of that but he to me has always been the most informed and enjoyable to read.

Insipid but quite a nice way of breaking down a number of the top stories, for me. Think you’ve hit the nail on the head r.e his replacement too

I always thought Samuels to be an arrogant man who thinks he is in the know about everything. In all honesty I can see him being the butt of jokes, insults and little respect from those in the game itself.
